First time I saw my daddy cry

The day my brother died

I didn’t know him well

His mother wasn’t mine

 

I was eleven at the time

It was a suicide

Found hung in the yard

 

He was 20 years old and his whole world was over

I heard it was over a girl

When you’re in love, your love is your whole world

And when it’s gone, it feels like so is your soul

 

But I know, there’s more to this story

Like how could he even think that way?

How could he base his life on one person?

What else was he trying to escape?

 

He was 20 years old and his whole world was over

I heard it was over a girl

When you’re in love, your love is your whole world

And when it’s gone, it feels like so is your soul

 

You need love from the ones all around you

Not just from the one in your bed

And if your blood can’t offer love

You’ve got to find it in yourself instead

 

I don’t know the moral of this story

Maybe he’s better where he’s at
